By the time Zhu Xu finished dealing with the affairs of Huguang, Cao Wenzhao had already taken over the islands around the entire South China Sea, Batavia (Jakarta), Singapore, and Manila, the three most important places, had all fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty!
It is equivalent to saying that the whole of East Asia is already under the Ming Dynasty!
Cao Wenzhao and others did not return to the division immediately, they are building military bases, defense, and they must completely and firmly control this triangle, as long as this triangle is stable, no one can take away Luzon and the old port, and the trade and politics of East Asia are all decided by the Ming Dynasty!
Yu Anxing took over Luzon, and Yang Sichang had already handed over Annan to Zuo Liangyu and others, and rushed to Jakarta to prepare to take over the old port.
Yu Anxing is a military and political all-rounder, and Luzon will definitely be stable in his hands.
Yang Sichang's military strategy is also one of the few in Daming, and he looks at the old port, whether it is defensive or offensive, Zhu Xu is relieved.
For these two places, Zhu Xu decided not to set up a governor for the time being, and the military and government were integrated, and asked them to forcefully complete the control, reform, and embark on the track he preset.
The Dutch and the Spaniards paid the price for their arrogance and ignorance, although they did not know it at home, but even if they knew, they could only grit their teeth and accept those treaties and cede all the interests of East Asia to the Ming Dynasty, and there was no other way.
Against the powers of the East, they will pay even more!
Now Britain also wants to trade with the Ming Dynasty, so the main content of the treaty will be the same, and even the British and the Ming Dynasty now have the same fundamental purpose, that is, when they are unable to challenge Spain and the Netherlands for maritime supremacy, they choose to keep their heads up.
The difference is that the Ming Dynasty is the hegemon in East Asia and cannot be challenged, and it also overwhelms Europe in the general trend.
Britain was in Europe, but it was splinted, on the one hand, Spain was still standing, and on the other hand, the Netherlands was suddenly rising at sea, so that Britain was at a loss.
Such a Britain may have a strong complementarity with the Ming Society, and there will be more and more cooperation at sea in the future!
The army led by Zhu Xu is still in Xiang.
Yang, only a small number of people quietly crossed the river and entered Shaanxi.
Western Boundary.
Zhu Xujin is Han.
Zhongfu, South.
Yang County.
Zhu Xu sat in a carriage, walked on the official road, lifted the curtains, and looked outside.
Chinese.
Since ancient times, it has been a strategic place and a granary, and it can start a great drought in the 42nd year of Wanli, and the harvest is less and less every year, and now it is even more necessary for the imperial court to transfuse blood.
Zhu Xu coughed from time to time, his face was still a little pale, holding a telescope in one hand, looking at it from afar and near.
Although it had just rained not long ago, the ground still looked a little 'miserable', sparse, drought, and dead seedlings everywhere, and it was not a good year at first glance.
Cao Huachun sat next to Zhu Xu for a while before he said, "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to inform Zhao Shujiao, and I should be able to come to see the driver soon."
"Zhao Shujiao has been transferred to Shaanxi.
The general army of the west, his 3,000 ironclad army, and more than 20,000 cavalry have been stationed in the west.
Anfu.
Zhu Xu coughed, waved his hand and said: "Don't make a big fuss, we have brought dozens of people, which is enough to deal with a small group of bandits, let him follow from a distance, don't make a fuss." ” Cao Huachun understood and said, "Is that going to send Governor Li over?"
” Li Banghua is Shaanxi.
The governor of the west was resolute and quite rigid, and his attitude towards the rogues was mainly suppressed, which was completely different from the attitude of the former governor Yang He.
Zhu Xu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Don't use it for the time being, let's take a look first." ” The acres of land, the economy, culture, officials, military defense, the 'New Deal', and so on, should all be carefully examined.
The southwest is the most important place that Zhu Xu pays attention to, here is stable, the world is stable, here is chaotic, the world is uneasy!
Cao Huachun nodded and accompanied Zhu Xu to slowly look around.
Just after the heavy rain, there was nowhere to put your feet in the fields, so I had to walk around along the official road.
After looking at it for a while, Zhu Xu took back the binoculars, wrapped himself in a thick sheet, and said, "Let people inquire, Han.
Where is the largest farmstead in China, let's go and see. ” "Yes."
Cao Huachun responded, opened the curtain first, and gave a few instructions to Wang Yizhou.
Wang Yizhou agreed and sent someone out.
Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's still pale face and said, "Your Majesty, let's find a place to rest, shall we?"
” Zhu Xu intends to work in Han.
Zhongduo took a look, nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Well, by the way, it's best to be near that farm." ” "Yes."
Cao Huachun said.
Zhu Xu's carriage slowly moved forward, looking for Han.
The largest farm in Zhongfu, he wanted to see how Li Banghua's farm was running.

Not long after Zhu Xu walked away, in a field in the distance, three people came up, stood up, and looked at Zhu Xu's carriage from a distance.
Two men and one woman, both dressed in coarse cloth clothes, look like ordinary peasant households.
Although the woman was wearing ordinary clothes and had a little dust on her face, she still had this kind of water hibiscus, her skin was fair, her eyes were delicate, and only the hatred that occasionally flashed added a touch of coldness.
Beside her were two men, one was a stout man in his thirties with a rough face, and the other was a young man in his twenties and seventeens, with a look of resentment on his face.
The stout man watched the carriage drift away, turned his head to look at the woman, and said, "Miss, the dog emperor is going to run away again, what should I do?"
” The young man snorted and said, "What else can I do, find a place where they live, put some medicine in the well at night, and then rush in, and solve it all with one knife!"
Then cut off the head of the Dog Emperor and put it on the city gate for all to see!
” The woman was wearing coarse cloth clothes and couldn't hide her figure, she was holding a short knife in her hand, her face was calm, and said: "Don't mess around first, let's follow the Dog Emperor, see what he wants to do, and find an opportunity to act, the Dog Emperor is too insidious, we must make sure that the plan is foolproof, otherwise there will be no second chance." ” The two men were very convinced by the woman's words, and said without objection: "Okay." ” After speaking, the three of them quietly went on the road and followed the carriage from a distance.
It didn't take long for Zhu Xu and others to come to a small town, and the whole town had been divided into a farm, called 'Qingshan Villa', which was jointly managed by the local security chiefs and governed by the county.
Zhu Xu and others lived in a restaurant, and the interesting thing is that whether it is wine or food, it is a 'limited' supply, even if Wang Yizhou is willing to give double the price, the shopkeeper is only willing to give a little more.
"I also see that you have sick people, otherwise I would not want to entertain you."
The shopkeeper glanced at Zhu Xu and a group of people.
Zhu Xu could see from his eyes that he seemed to be distressed about food and didn't care about making money.
Zhu Xu spoke with a Jingshi accent and said curiously: "Is the disaster really so serious here?"
Don't even let the restaurant open?
” The shopkeeper made a few calculations, looked up at Zhu Xu, and then lowered his head and continued to calculate: "It's not serious, hundreds of people have starved to death in our town.
People starve to death in the west every day, the imperial court, the governor of the yamen disaster relief money and grain put tens of millions, but they can't afford such consumption, they have to go out, my restaurant is the only one in the town......"
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Ten million, can't that be disaster relief?"
Isn't it greedy to be an official?
” The shopkeeper's head immediately raised, and he looked at Zhu Xu with some unkindness, as if considering that he was a patient, he frowned and said, "This guest officer, just say what you say here, don't go out and say it."
I don't know about other places to say just us south.
In addition to the county government, there are also government soldiers, the governor's yamen, and the officials of the imperial court supervise, and we are all watching, it is absolutely impossible to fake......"
Zhu Xu listened, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although corruption and the like will never be over, but it was finally contained, and it was not too ridiculous.
Seeing that Zhu Xu didn't speak, the shopkeeper lowered his head again, and said lightly, "In the past few years, most of the money and grain of the imperial court have been used for disaster relief, and now the treasury is empty, and the governor yamen has discussed with various places and decided to work collectively, save money and deal with disasters, and can't all rely on the imperial court, otherwise one day the imperial court will run out of money and food, and we will not starve to death?"
The whole country is suffering, and it is not easy for the imperial court to ......"
Zhu Xu secretly felt strange, is this Li Banghua's ideological work done well, or is this shopkeeper more conscious?
After saying so much, the shopkeeper glanced at Zhu Xu and the others again, and said, "Okay, you guys can rest, except for food and the like, what do you want to buy and ask in the town." ” "Okay, thank you, shopkeeper."
Zhu Xu laughed, raised his feet and walked inside.
As soon as he went to the corner of the second floor, Zhu Xu tilted his head and said in a low voice: "Send someone out for a walk, see what this shopkeeper said, and then observe how this farm runs." ” "Yes."
Cao Huachun said in a low voice.
Zhu Xu walked a few steps and said, "Qin Liangyu is now in the fourth.
Chuan?
” Cao Huachun followed up and said in a low voice, "Some time ago, there was another rebellion in the Tusi, and General Qin personally led the troops to fight, and now there should be no return." ” Zhu Xu frowned slightly, nodded, and walked to the room.
Shaanxi.
West, IV.
Chuan, Gan.
Su, expensive.
The borders of states and other countries are the most complex, the ethnic groups are mixed, and there are many problems and contradictions accumulated over the years, which cannot be solved by a few words and a few policies.
After resting in the room for a while, Zhu Xu was still thinking about the matter of 'Toast', these are not simple 'ethnic equality' that can be solved, and there will be more involved in the future, this matter cannot only be taken care of in front of the present, but must be planned for a hundred years of long-term peace and stability.
From Mongolia, North Korea, the Ryukyus, the South China Sea, and then to the southeast peninsula, it happens to be a semi-arc, and the southwest is also here, so it is necessary to plan early, although this is still the territory of various Mongolian tribes, but sooner or later it will be the Ming Dynasty!
How to let them live and work in peace and contentment, not rebel, and not repeat the old things of the past dynasties is the key point for Zhu Xu to consider.
After eating something and lying on the bed, Zhu Xu was still deliberating, this is a big problem, and it must be carefully considered.
Cao Huachun saw that Zhu Xu was still not resting, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, rest for a while, General Zhao will be here soon." ” Zhu Xu took a deep breath, laughed, and said, "Well, you go, I will sleep for a while."
"With such a huge empire and so many things, at this time, where can he feel at ease.
Even so, Zhu Xu knew his physical condition, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and prepared to sleep.
